One local added: "Many people were woken in Putney and Southfields last night by a low hovering police helicopter which was there almost an hour from 3am."

The National Police Air Service (NPAS) London Twitter account has confirmed why the helicopter was sent out.

A tweet published on Thursday afternoon reads: "Last night we attended Putney where a burglary suspect was believed to be hiding on a tower block roof/balconies. [They were] located with thermal imaging & arrested.

"Apologies to anyone disturbed, this was the safest tactic - reducing the risk of anyone falling from a precarious height."
